TLDR : Answer Summary
If you enter Thailand with a 6-month multiple entry tourist visa, you'll initially receive a 60-day stay stamp. As you approach the end of this 60-day period, you can either apply for a one-time 30-day extension at immigration or exit Thailand and re-enter to get a new 60-day stamp. Your visa's overall validity for 6 months does not affect the maximum continuous stay allowed, which typically caps at 60-90 days without leaving the country. By properly timing your extensions and re-entries, you can maximize your stay.
90 DAY REPORTING RESOURCES / SERVICES
Use the trusted Thailand 90 Day Reporting Service to get your in-person report done and mailed to you for as low as 375 THB (even if the online system doesn't work for you).
For immediate assistance, contact Thai Visa Centre directly via LINE at @ThaiVisaCentre or Email them.
When you enter Thailand with a multiple entry tourist visa you’ll be given a stamp for 60 days. When that’s nearing the end you either go to immigration to get a 30 day extension (one time per entry only) or leave Thailand and return for a new 60 day stamp.
The fact that your visa is valid for 6 months is irrelevant. You can only stay for 60-90 days at any one time then you must leave and re-enter.
With the right timing for extensions and bounces you can get nearly 9 months out of that visa (not in one go of course)
Which is best is entirely up to you. If you’re near a border then perhaps it’ll be cheaper for you to leave and re-enter than extend. Or if not it could be vice-versa.
